Our caring and highly trained operators will treat your calls as an emergency unless you tell us otherwise - so even if you are unable to tell us what the problem is we are still able to help you. This help will come from one of your chosen contacts (such as a neighbour, friend or relative), your doctor or one of the emergency services. The alarm unit is easily and simply connected to your telephone and can be installed within days of being requested. |  |
